February 16, 2012 - The King George County School Board
announced today that it will begin the process of hiring a new superintendent by
seeking public input on qualifications for a new superintendent.
The School Board will make available a survey related to
superintendent criteria, which will be sent home with children in the King
George County Public Schools, provided to staff and made available at
http://www.quia.com/sv/566837.html. Extra
copies of the survey will also be available at the Smoot Library and the YMCA.
In addition to the survey, the Board will hold a Public Hearing immediately
before its regularly scheduled board meeting on February 27. The Public Hearing
will begin at 5 p.m. and will be held at the King George County School Board
Office.
“Hiring a new superintendent is the biggest task facing a School Board and we
want to make sure that the public has a voice in this process,” said School
Board Chair Michael Rose. “We hope that parents, staff and residents will take
time to fill out the survey or attend the public hearing.”

Transportation Notice
In an effort to provide parents and
guardians with current bus information, we have contacted KG Alert and have been
able to establish a specific alert group identified as “Bus Transportation”.
Our intent is to send a morning and
afternoon KG Alert identifying all buses that will have substitute drivers.
While having a substitute driver does not mean the
bus will be picking students up late in the morning or dropping them off late in
the afternoon, it will alert parents and guardians to this possibility.
Additionally, if it is known that a bus will be
late, an alert will be sent.
If you are interested in receiving these
KG Alerts, please go to www.kgalert.com
and subscribe to “Bus Transportation”.
KG Alerts to this group will begin on
Monday, November 15, 2010.
If you do not have a computer to
register with KG Alert and would like to sign up for the alert group, please
know that computers are available at Smoot Library for public use.
You, also, can contact the School Board Office and
arrangements will be made for you to use a computer for sign-up purposes.
Again, hopefully, this will provide updated information
regarding any irregularities in the transportation schedule.

Student Safety
Our children are our most precious resource. As
a School Division and a community of parents, it is our responsibility
to provide our children with the skills to stay safe and protect themselves
from potential dangers. As a parent, you play a critical role in your
child's safety. You are the best person to teach your child about personal
safety. Begin talking to your child now, building an open relationship that
allows for continued discussion as your child grows.
The Governor's Office in Virginia has published
a booklet about safety concerns and how parents can provide support and
awareness to their children about risky behaviors and how to help prevent
dangerous situations. This guide is designed to give you a greater awareness
about some threats to the safety of our children and assist you in talking
to your child about how to protect themselves. This guide can be downloaded
from
